What is so wrong with being a housewife?

I think that a woman’s choice of lifestyle should be respected by all. These days, its surely a luxury to have the ability to choose staying home to care for house and family. A luxury that not many can afford. I was lucky enough to have the choice and I never looked back. And I’m proud of my life as wife and mom.

Its a tough job for sure - far tougher than a wall street technology job. Its the repetitiveness, the dullness and the never-ending-ness (24 by 7 by 365) that can sometimes feel overwhelming. When we work in a career, we get time off and even breaks during the day. We get to leave work at work and come home. Not so when you’re a stay-home. A little break now and then is vital.

Also vital is a bit of respect for those who choose this path. To just make the wild assumption that every stay-home wife/mother is an uneducated idiot that watches soap operas, eats bonbons and spends money in the malls is beyond infuriating.

You’re not brown. You have no clue how brown women roll.
